Urethral Stricture
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, the duct through which urine exits the bladder to the outside. That reduction in caliber hinders the passage of urine and can cause progressive discomfort.
When to see a doctor? It is a good idea to seek care if you notice a weak or split urine stream, straining to urinate, a sensation of incomplete emptying, or repeated urinary infections.
Common causes: It may be due to inflammation, infections, injuries to the area, or scarring after previous procedures.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who studies the urethra and defines the management; the general practitioner can perform the first evaluation and guide the referral. If urinary symptoms persist or worsen, the most reasonable course is to place it in the hands of a professional.
